Here after I saw it gets wrecked on reddit!

Thank you! Yes the exhaust manifold that came along with the EROD engine was used. Some pie cuts to fit the catalytic converter was necessary in order to clear the chassis and fit correctly under the vehicle. The steering shaft we used was a two piece kit we sourced from Condor speed. They now sell it online and it uses a ujoint to connect the two pieces. This helps clear the stock manifolds quite nicely. In terms of SMOG and emissions, it still needs to pass tests, which I believe include the sniffer. Luckily the car is BAR legal and it has already passed its official tail pipe emissions test earlier this year. So we should be good to go in the future. Thanks for watching!

@@TheAutoDojo Right on, thanks for the info. I was hoping the BAR sticker followed the engine testing rules rather than the chassis, but I’m sure it’s still super nice just to be able to drive around legally regardless. How do you feel about the swap after having driven it for so many months? Any regrets? Do you struggle with traction when on spirited drives? I’m on the brink of taking this route for my 95 as well but I keep thinking that there’d be too much torque to confidently push the car through some canyon turns.

Correction, the smog rules follow the engine. So it gets treated like a 2011 Camaro essentially, including all the necessary OBD tests. The car feels great, definitely much more peppier. I will say the two piece driveshaft takes some getting used to as it doesn’t feel as “direct” but it was the compromise we had to make to make the package work. I’d say I’d need to get some stiffer springs and dial in my suspension a bit since the LS engine is a little heavier up front. I think with a stiffer setup it would be great at the track or autox.

Thanks bruh 👍🏽

It’s the little details that count 👍🏽 Thanks for watching!

Renown 130R Motorsport Competition Steering Wheel Thanks for watching!

One of my favorite Porsches tbh. Super clean 👌🏽

Good tip!

Agreed, was definitely a learning experience. Will take those tips into the next painting project. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

Man that’s tough! I just kept searching around with a small flashlight and I think I fished it out using an extension magnet. It’s probably stuck on top of the skid plate. It might have fallen out if you’ve been driving it around already, but it doesn’t hurt to check if you can find it. As long as you were able to mount it with some bolts you should be good!

I’ll probably end up keeping them or repurposing them for a future build but I’ll keep you in mind my friend! Thanks for watching!

Funny enough, when the M3 was in the shop, I ended up buying a Supra as well 😅. Sorta kinda counts I guess? Thanks for watching!

Ultimately, that’s what I ended up doing. Lol. The irony of it all haha. Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro! Here are the specs of my setup: Brada Wheels 19x10 ET25 Front w/Falken RT660 275/35/19 tires 19x11 ET25 Rear w/Falken RT660 305/30/19 tires Thanks for watching!

Hey just saw your comment! Did you end up getting the car? They’re fun little cars but with a vehicle this old, they’ll have their little gremlins. Just put some money aside for any major repairs in the future, but when well sorted out, the car is a blast to drive. Thanks for watching!

That’s awesome! Being self sufficient and DIYing things on this car definitely goes a long way. It’s very rewarding driving a well sorted out E36 👍🏽 Thanks for watching!

Sounds like a great price for a project car 👍🏽 Thanks for watching!

Tbh, any 36 can be a bunch of fun. It’s the RWD that gives it personality. Thanks for watching!

Apologies, but “suspension overhaul” includes quality coil-overs, new bushings all around, and reinforcements- all labor intensive tasks that include dropping the subframe. The price includes parts and labor. Of course this is situational, depending on the price of your own parts and if you do the labor yourself. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Hey what’s up! I actually made a video regarding costs of ownership here: ruclips.net/video/82QDHHyfqWk/видео.html In short, these are great cars when everything is running right. Like any other 30 year old car, it’ll need its maintenance. Once kept up, they’re fun little vehicles. Thanks for watching!

@@TheAutoDojo thank you mate 💪🏼

I appreciate it! If there’s a will, there is a way. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! It’s a great steering wheel, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! More to come!

That’s definitely true, usually an alignment after springs or coils will fine tune geometry. Don’t usually need to buy caster bushings or lower control arms/ camber plates to do that though, but in this particular instance I did. Usually lowering springs can still be brought into spec, but can’t do it with this car for some reason. Thanks for the feedback and for watching. Appreciate you brotha 🙌🏼

Thanks, more to come 👍🏽

Thank you! 🙌🏼

Thanks man! I’m tempted to get a cam since you can’t see the modification, but I’m so content with the current power that I might just leave it stock. I had a supercharger on the previous engine, but I’ll probably leave this NA for now. Thank for watching 🙌🏼

Thanks brotha, I appreciate you! We’ll definitely have to make that happen 🙌🏽

You are correct, the nuts with the teeth will bite into the bumper to prevent them from spinning. The issue is when you tighten the screw, it’s nearly impossible to tighten the nut/bolt without the nut spinning. Definitely challenging. Thanks for watching!

Hey brotha! Thanks for the feedback man, I appreciate you. The rear seat is held in with two levers in the top of the back seats, if you pull those, the two parts of the backseat fold forward. You can remove them from there. The low portion or the bench just lifts off. Just pull it upwards and it’ll come off. There’s no clips or anything to break. Hope that helps man. Thanks for watching!

They do rattle and have a hallow tinny sounds. I’m actually thinking of going back and applying sound deadening to quiet it down a bit. If you’re going straight race car it’s not an issue, but if you’re street driving it can get a little annoying.

Good tip, will try that out next time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I purchased the paint through TCP Global. Here is the link to the paint itself. tcpglobal.com/products/rsp-ub1203-kit-f I also purchased a small bottle of metallic flake to add to the paint.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Thanks, glad I was able to help!

Hello, no spacers installed and this is stock ride height. Since this video I’ve got HKS adjustable springs and new wheels. Thanks for watching!

The SPL arm has a little ball that the sensor arm attaches to. It’s in the same location as the stock control arm. I will say that you might have to zip tie that area it attached to to keep the sensor at an acceptable level. Sometimes the sensor will go off because there’s too much play where it connects.

Thank you! 🙏🏽 The car looks and feels completely different. All your efforts went to amazing work 👍🏽. Shout out to you!

Got a link to the resistor kit? Also do you know what size was the bolt on the steering wheel

@@Mynameisdiy a.co/d/bfezVaz , it’s overkill to buy this many, but for the price it’s not bad. I believe the center bolt is 16mm if I’m not mistaken. Thanks for watching!

@@TheAutoDojo thanks! Gonna do the same swap this weekend!

@@TheAutoDojo thanks! I installed mine over the weekend everything went smooooooth

More than likely I will swap in the stock downpipe, uninstall the flex fuel kit, and reflash the stock tune for smog purposes. It’s a pain in the ass but it’s the only way to do it legit (amongst other questionable SMOG options). SMOG has been a hot topic especially with tuning. As far as I know, I am unsure if SMOG stations can fail a car for seeing a previous flash on the ECU. This is something a couple of us will have to find out when we get there. I’d assume, worst case scenario, we would flash back to stock from the dealers; otherwise, JB4 would be a great option as it doesn’t overwrite anything and just tricks the ECU to adjust boost/ timing.

Hey, glad you found the video helpful! Hopefully I can answer some of your questions. 1. To my knowledge, any aftermarket coil over system for the A90 Supra would get rid of the stock electronic damper control. I believe EDC delete kits are used alongside coil over systems to allow traction control to be turned on and off without errors. Using lowering springs, or in my case adjustable HKS springs, would allow you to keep the EDC while giving you height adjustability. The best of both worlds. 2. Personally I run a 19x10 ET25 in front and 19x11 ET25 in the rear with a flush setup. This is pretty aggressive with outing running a widebody or over fenders. Strictly going for function, I know a handful of folks who run TE37s with 19x9.5 ET22 front and 19x10.5 ET35 rear. Those wheels are also available in the 18” variety if you prefer a meatier tire setup. 3. Camber and caster are really up to you. In my particular case I run settings to accommodate my wheel and tire setup. Ideally you would want a little more camber in the front than the rear to give the car a bit more oversteer. I’d check out the A90 forums to see what other people run. -2.5 in the front and -2.0 in the rear is a good place to start. Really depends on your driving style 👍🏽

Thanks brotha! 🙌🏽

My exhaust fabricator cut some of the plastic off from the bumper trim. He was able to place another muffler between that and my aftermarket fancywide diffuser to make the quad setup workout 👍🏽

​@@TheAutoDojo okay I'll do the same. Back in the day a company used to sell an m3 diffuser trim made for quads. But they been out of business since like 2018.

Ah yea, a set piece would have been nice, but this option didn’t turn out too bad. Was definitely the cheaper route but it looks great. Definitely stands out from the E36 crowd.

@@TheAutoDojo I been speaking to a company so they can make em. Hopefully they do. Yours looks good I couldnt tell it was cut lol.

Awesome! I think I the setup looks really nice! Yea my fabricator definitely did a good job, I’m pretty happy.

That’s sick! The car definitely pulls harder and sounds so much better too! Thanks for watching!
